Some Wealthy Prussians.

The official income tax returns Just
published in Berlin show that the man
who is rated highest in all Prussia is
Herr Krupp, of Essen. His income is
assessed at more than 5000, 900 marks,
or $50, 900 pounds sterling. on which
he pays 151. 200 marks, or 7. 500 pounds
sterling annually. Next comes Baron
Rothschild, of Frankfort-on-the-M
with an income of 2.750,000 marks,
paying a tax of $1,000 marks. 1850
pounds sterling per annum. Then fol-
lows the British Consul General. Baron
Bleichroder. of Berlin, with an income
of about 2,340, 600 marks. paying an
annual tax of IS. 400 marks. or 1920
pounds sterling. The two next richest
men in Prussia are two Silesian IRON
masters. The only other Prussians
with an income of over 1, 900, 900 marks
are Baron Hansemann and a West
phalian magnate, each of whom pays
rather more that 1900 pounds sterling
a year to the treasury.-London Times.

A Brisk Blind Man.

A familiar figure in London is that
of a blind old man who runs after a
dog. The blind man has placard on
his chest, and in other respects he is
like the typical blind beggar. but he
runs along after his little four-footed
guide in a very original fashion. Sue h
guides usually move along at snaiPs
pace; this little creature either runs or
moves at a brisk trot. The result is
that the master and dog are enabled to
pass swiftly through great crowds. In
some of the thoroughfares men with
good eye-sight move slowly and with
difficulty; but the begger and beggar's
dog cut a swath wherever they go.
The old mans stick is no sooner heard,
hurriedly Notwithstanding on
the pavement, than the foot-passengers
stand aside to avoid a collision.

custom, the shells were often colored
in fanciful designs, like Easter eggs.
and at other times tastefully decorated
with different colors of paper. Chopped
paper and tinsel were usually put in
the shells, but on more than one occa-
sion gold dollar pieces were used-one
in each shell. Spiced candy was often
used, and sometimes powder and per-
fumery. Housewives religiously save
the shells of all the eggs they use and
put away until coscarone season comes
around.
In cascarone-breaking it is not neces-
sary that one should be acquainted; in
fact. it is sort of "mashing" proceed
ing all through. The act of breaking
a cascarone on another's head is to be
considered compliment by the recipi-
ent, who is in honor bound to return
it at the first opportunity. The proper
way to break them is to crush the shell
in the hand over the PERSONS head, al
lowing its contents to fall on the head.
In the excitement, however, the shell
is more frequently broken on the head,
VI lOCtiICf VI 1OICc uStu,
and is oftentimes suggestive of any
thing but amiable feeling on the part
of the bestower. When the ice is once
broken by some adventurous maiden
or plucky man the contagion soon
spreads, and in very short time every
body is chasing around the room
breaking cascarones indiscriminately,
and receiving them from all sides.
These mock battles usually occur be-
tween dances. Years ago sort of
game was played in the breaking of
| cascarones. 1t was an object-like in
the old game of 'tag"-to break the
| last cascarone on another. The one
breaking the last was allowed the
privilege of asking the other every
time they met: 'How are my chick
ensp" and the other would be expected
to give them present for the benefit
of the enthusiastically, ETC., being
usually given. This was allowed to
be kept up until the next cascarone
| dance, when the game was all passed
over.-Monterey (Cak) Argus.

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
A KINGS DOMINION.


The carpet in tho parlor is no better than the
floor;
OF the carpet in the library one can say little
more;
There's good one in the dining-room although
it's rather small;
But the carpet in the nursery Is incest OF them
all.
There's a palace in the middle, circled with a
wall Of black,
With moat Of yellow water, four brown path
ways running back
Through fearful frightful forest from the
windows to the door,
Round four lakes of deep dark water with
green grifans on the shore.
At the corners there are castles, and in one
King Arthur reigns;
In the north one is q giant, and the south is
Charlemagnes.
But the castle in the corner by the closet is the
best,
And from this rule my kingdom and reign over
all the rest.
But the middle park and palace are a very won
drous place
Statues vases fairies, graces, flowers and bow
ers through all the space,
IT'S garden Of enchantment, and the dreadful
ogress there
Is my sister-You should see her when she rum
pies up her hair!
Now, it's very. very seldom that TIL play with
dolls and girls.
Cause used to go in dresses with my hair like
Mary's curls;
But there's first-rate fun in playing, On rainy
indoor day,
That her dolls captive Princess, to be res
cued in a fray.
So with knights Of the Round Table and with
Paladins of France,
Charlemagne and I and Arthur through the
wicked wood advance;
And we always have such contests, before all
these wilds are crossed,
With the giant and the gritlns, that half our
knights are lost.
But at last we reach the portals, and the lovely
Princess see,
Then the ogress, with her magic, captures every
one but me;
And transferred to wood and pewter In her dun
geons they repine-
But bear away the Princess, so the victory Is
mine.

PARTISAN DOLLS.

How the More Expensive Kinds Are Made
and Dressed and What They Cost.
Doll worship has become a sort OF
creed and every year these puppets are
more extensively and extravagantly
dressed. There is no article of woman's
attire which is not reproduced in
miniature on these aristOcratic dolls.
There are dolls de lu1e which range
from three and half inches to as many
feet in height. They wear silk dresses,
bustles, long trains and sealskin dol
mans. Their hats take all the fantastic
forms of women's and are trimmed
with feathers and little tomtits. They
wear silk hose and their feet are en-.
cased in dainty satin shoes There is,
indeed, nothing in the way of eccen-
tricity of dress or foible of millinery
which the doll does not wear. Dolls
have their own dressmakers,
their own milliners and shoe
makers. The doll fraternity may
be divided into several races differing
in development and in artistic execu.
ton.
There is the old-fashioned wooden
doll whose shrunk shanks are some
times covered with shredly garments.
This is the poor girls doll. Then
there is another wooden doll, but more
polished, whose limbs and trunk are
padded into shape and covered with
white leather. Sometimes this species
has porcelain head on it. There is
also dumpy doll made out of India
IL 10 -, hot
breakable. Then comes the aristocratic
doll, which is made out of nothing
else but paper, with a porcelain head.
This is the doll which is made in Paris
to-day. Hundreds of thousands of it
are exported every year and it sells at
any thing from half a dollar up to four
hundred dollars.
1t is not many years since this new
race first appeared, but it has already
driven its predecessors out of the mar
ket in Paris. Here is how it is made:
The paper pulp is first worked into a
fine mortar. Then the dolls are moulded
bit by bit. One workman will mould
nothing but arms, another the feet, and
so on. When the trunks and limbs are
shaped and dried. they are painted.
They get five coats of whitish paint
and are then vanished. After this
elastic bands are inserted in the arms
and legs to keep them together. The
joints are made workable, and into
whatever position you may put an arm
or leg, it will stick there. The head is
more difficult to make than the body.
1t is, as already observed, made
out of porcelain. After being
moulded the heads are put into an oven
and are burned for twenty-seven hours.
Then they are rubbed with pumice-
stone and polished. Then they are
painted, and the painting and coloring
of dolls head is ticklish business,
requiring, as the French say, the ut
most delicatesse. The dolls eyes are
made on the same principle as artificial
human eyes. Its hair is wool from wild
goats in the mountains of Thibet To
turn out one of these dolls thirty diff
ferent persons are required, and the
cheapest is sold naked at sixty cents,
and the dearest at eleven dollars

get Father says you can do any thing

world couldn't have saved little sister
Rose from dying" At that a large
tear came to Wills eye. and the boys
all looked at him in silence.
Then he wiped his eyes and went on:
"Come. boys. say how much you'll give
to the new railroad"
Thereupon Will smoothed off a spot
in the sand and wrote his name. and
opposite he put, 1.-The right of way and
no charge for engineering"
"And what's the right OF waya' "
they asked.
.You can't build roads in the air.
You must have ground, and when you

There is great deal written, and a
great deal more said, about imprudent
marriages on insufficient means. Per-
haps it is that nearly every one has
different notion of what constitutes a
sufficient income. Many insist that
girl should not marry on less income
than she had in her fathers house.
She has, so they say. been used to
every comfort and even luxury, at
home, and would be wretched as a
poor mans wife. This is not always
true. There is no hard and fast rule
